Long story but I just heard about this song tonight. When looking for the song, I stumbled across the video. I am rather impressed with how Guy Ritchie shot this. I also see it caused quite an uproar in its heyday. My question: Does any of you cats know the cinematographer? Anyone here work on this? I know it was shot in parts of LA.

Ladies/gents, I just built an editing computer for 4K editing. These monitors were used on the rig I am replacing. Excellent condition. No damage. No screen burn-in. No stuck pixels. Paperwork, OEM power adapters included for the monitors. Local pickup in the Los Angeles Area. Ping me for any questions. $100.00 USD per monitor. I will sell all three for a discount if interested.

Mercy! What an amazing flick! Just saw it at TCL Chinese theater in IMAX 3D tonight. Brilliant. NOt cheesy 3D--tastefully done and in the right spots. I'm scouring the internet looking for BTS footage on this super secret way of shooting it. Sandra was adorable.. kinda like how she was in Demolition Man... :D definitely worth $40.00...

Frys Used DHL for delivery and each time i had a delivery from DHL it was always right on time. the LOCAL hub's customer service was a JOKE! a BIG JOKE! i had an issue once thru them and it was brutal.. but the shipping was always on time and early in the morning...

thanks all for the replies. i know full well the older posts are relevant; i was not trying to imply that were not. there have been a few models come out on the scene and i wanted to see if anyone had any opinions. again in regards to sekonic, thats all i have known so thats why i thought it was a staple in the industry. i am not a DP nor do i play one on TV, so i dont really keep up with light meters. i really appreciate the posts and for you guys taking time to add your seasoned opinions. the spectra looks very nice and am really considering going that route. again thanks all....

yeah i know this topic should have been posted to death but my search for "best light meter" and "light meter" came up with posts thaat were over a year old. of course i could have missed something newer but that was my results. im shocked you guys have not mentioned the sekonics. i was kind of raised on that brand over the years and figured that was THE meter. well chris comes up and throws me a curve ball and mentions the spectra. i did a google and i am impressed with its specs. again thank you...

i have no experience with or have ever heard of that brand, hence my ignorance. but thank you for our response. it helps!

thank you for your response. is there a particular model your fond of that you would recommend?

All, i am in the market for a NEW light meter. I dont have one but im finding myself wanting one of my own. there are many out there. i shoot film including 8mm, and also HD video and SD video. so i need a one stop shop for all. sekonic has a couple of new meters but i would rather have some seasoned opinions from the esteemed here. thanks in advance....

hey its cool to see folks with low/no budgets to post up here. it really puts things in perspective. i totally enjoyed your post and the time you took to detail things.. too bad your not in the states.. i would have done Steadicam for ya.. :-) glad all went well despite the shortcomings and hey.. if the client liked it,, thats all that mattes isnt it? who cares how you get the shot as long as you get it! :-)

I know some of you here know this Cinematograpaher and have spoke of him im posts. I did not know if this community heard of this tragic accident but i just wanted to make sure yo uguys know. a sad day in this business indeed. Mr. Roland Schlotzhauer..... http://www.kcrg.com/news/local/3259386.html =================================================== WALFORD - Authorities have released the names of the people involved in the deadly helicopter crash in Benton County.

thanks for the reply. im going to get the ts-3el version alaong with the tascam and be set. i was just curious as to the setup you have...

congrats David... my question... two DPs? how will the rols be played out? is one DP over the other or will they be running two seperate crews that they need seperate DPs for the units? did they have 2 DPs last season? never heard of the show but i know the production factor just went way up since they hired you!

reviving this thread... david if your stil around.. what slate do you have? im thinking of getting a TC slate (denecke) and i need something to send TC to it.. but im a novice on TC slates and if yo uhave a slate that generates TC then thats half my battle.. also, who has purchased or used the Tascam H2? i was about to grab the old p1 until i saw this unit...

Guys, id like to blow some money on a Denecke Time code slate. i would like to know what all i need in order to get the TC sent to the slate... im no sound recordist, just a Steadicam/camera OP. id like to get this slate for my own small productions i do with friends. etc. who would more than likely NOT have this type of equipment. so i know i would need a portable recorder, but what is the piece i need to get the TC sent wirelessly (or wired?) to the slate? thanks for any responses. il monitor this thread closely.

finally saw this movie yesterday with my wife and son. MAN did i cry thru the whole movie!!! im such a punk! :-) i mean it was a very powerful message in the movie and the ending was intense!!!!!!! david, kudos on your work. it was also cool to understand what you guys went thru to get certain shots beforhand. armed with this knowledge it made the show even more exciting to watch! being black myself, its about time there is a movie that shows blacks other than being shot up and robbing/killing or riding around showing gold teeth, etc... "fish" (lawrence fisburn..) did an OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!! job. angela bassett was OK but not stellar. kede and fish were awesome together. she will go places... again, great job Dave. people take for granted what goes thru to make a movie. the lens flares were cool, especially the blue "venetian blind" type flares you were getting (which i think you said were a mistake?). good work... P.S. next low budget film you do you have to hire me as A/Steadicam! :rolleyes:

i want to echo barrys remarks.. this is stuff you never hear or see... you only see the good out of a production. dave i dont know why you spend the time to write this but its highly apprecated! im also glad you used a lot of Steadicam in the movie! :-)

as the title says, need recommendations on a flight case i can purchase now rather than wait to be custom made... thank you in advance....

beautiful dialouge here david. you should write a book! your improv when it comes to overcoming the pitfalls has come in handy... so , are you coming on the set speaking to everyone or are you coming on the set and as your grip speaks to you you immediately tell him/her to "set this stand up, move that light over..." ? :-) (a la akellah the bee journals)

karl i think he stated Los Angeles in earlier posts....?

thx. regards....
